The spec sheet says the camera will function up to -22F. I have had these cameras in the low single digits (Fahrenheit) with no issues so far. It also helps that the cameras give off a certain amount of heat.

We have used this generator in below freezing temperatures and it worked fine. I never saw anything in the manual however.

I live in Thunder Bay, and we had many weeks of near -40 below temperatures. Remarkably, these units work. I am exceedingly happy with the units I have purchased. I have owned them for more than one year now, and while I changed out the batteries, I fully expect another great year.

The battery life for my unit in cold and hot temps have been almost 4 months on a very sensitive setting which means more activation. It doubles as a watering device for my garden. Cars that drive by my front garden at night often set it off because of the wide range I've selected.

I no longer recommend this unit. We live in South Texas and our winters are very short. Despite this it only lasted for one and one half winters. Hope this helps. Ron

I have had no issues with the door opener at all, summer weather or our extreme cold weather we have had this winter with outside temperatures of -20 degrees. It has been performing great.

I used mine all winter long in the basement here in central il. Havent had any issues and the thing works great! Ive unplugged it a few times but for the most part it runs 24/7. I know for sure it ran alright around 50°f maybe lower.

Yes, it operates at very low temperatures and has a defrost cycle, which is why I purchased it. It has survived temperatures as low as 8 °F.

I bought 2 about 1 year ago. One has not been used as much as the other and still works fine. The one I used almost every day in Michigan Winters for 1 to 4 hours stopped working in a year.

I have only used it in Florida and the summer in Colorado so I can not answer about cold conditions. It does ok on cloudy days, it just takes a while longer to charge fully.

I live in Colorado and the unit works well in the snow, even blizzard conditions! I mounted the unit on a fence post to keep it about two feet off the ground and about 15 feet from the edge of the driveway. The distance to the receiver is close to 400 feet and, with the receiver in a line of sight window, we have had no problems with the signal.

It was only about 55 degrees when I used it and it was fine. I'm not sure about really cold weather.

Bill - we have used it in cold weather with very good results (32 degrees and above), but not sure about performance in sub zero weather. Sorry we couldn't be of more help. Have you called the manufacturer for input?
